Hiya, I’m Trace!

Rich in gratitude. Every. Day. I love backpacking and this is where I share my backpacking nerdery with the hope that it can help others in their outdoor adventures! Recent trips include backpacking the Pacific Crest Trail (1600 miles, still some left to do!), The Colorado Trail (470 miles), The Arizona Trail (460 miles), The Tahoe Rim Trail (170 miles), the John Muir Trail (250 miles) and the Trans-Catalina Trail four or five times (53 miles).

I’m also an entrepreneur specializing in technology, web design and lead generation. In another life I was a California Real Estate Broker and an Equities Trader holding the Series 7, 63, 55 and 24 Securities Licenses. I left the World Trade Center three minutes before the first plane hit, so I must still be here for something amazing!

I LOVE BASS MUSIC, animal protein, road trips, sailing, Burning Man, the Grateful Dead, MMA, Colorado, Hawaii, backpacking, ukuleles, Jiu Jitsu, hammocks, vintage tube amps and guitars and all things relating to classic Americana. I have an extra uke, want to jam? Cheers!
